I am franchising my website hosting system. Not really a franchise because it is privately labled with your name so you actually build your own business while I run the back end for you.

With my business growing and more and ore people looking to make a few extra dollars from home I set up iamawebhost.com to offer the average person with a basic internet IQ the ability to run their own business.

Basically, I provide everything. You just signup people under your main website which you build on our site builder with our help. You manage your accounts and you make the money over cost.

The best part about my idea is that you only pay after you get paid, so there is no real investment and unlimited potential. You make about $12 for each customer each month, so 100 customers is $1200 a month or $14,000.00 a year.

Even if you have a tuperware party you could get 10 customers and that would be $120 a month or $1400.00 a year.

OK, its not the dream franchise, but how many of those can you start for under 25 bucks?

If you don't mind working your way up and building a solid recurring income that you can depend on it could be a great opportunity for you.

I would like to make a friendly suggestion that you do not use the word "franchise". There are strict laws governing franchises in the U,S. and they are expensive to meet. Even if you do not use the word "franchise" you business can be considered a franchise if it meets certain thresholds. This is where many people get into trouble as they think by not using the word franchise they can avoid franchise laws!

It is not really an affiliate program but more of a license deal. The people run their own business under their own name. So the franchising laws wont apply since the parent company is only selling services and not contracting with the individual on the primary brand.

Franchising would imply that you are running an outlet of a bigger brand. While I am giving people an opportunity to private label my technology.

I don't belive the franchising laws would apply. Please correct me if I am wrong. I would not want to make a big mistake to sink my ship before I get sailing.

I believe that one of the three legs of the franchise stool is licensing a tradename or trademark hence you can usually avoid any franchise issues but specifcially prohibiting the use of your trade name/trademark.

Search for answers

Ask the community

Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.

Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".

Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards

Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"

Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
